Ms. Beleva (Bulgaria) said that the adoption of the Rome Statute was a milestone in the history of the codification and progressive development of international criminal law. There was no doubt that the international community was more prepared than ever to establish a permanent International Criminal Court that would complement rather than replace national criminal courts; it would not be restricted to being an instrument of justice but would also lead to greater respect for international humanitarian law and human rights.
Beleva (Bulgaria) dice que la aprobación del Estatuto de Roma es un hito en la historia de la codificación y la evolución progresiva del derecho penal internacional; es indiscutible que la comunidad internacional está más dispuesta que nunca a crear una Corte Penal Internacional permanente que sea un complemento, no un sustituto, de las jurisdicciones penales nacionales, y que no se limite a ser un instrumento de la justicia sino que además contribuya al respeto del derecho humanitario internacional y los derechos humanos.
